Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has a plan to beat La Liga duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to the Ballon d’Or award in 2018.
Spanish website Don Balon claims the Brazilian wants to fire his country to World Cup glory next summer.
And that, he feels, should be enough for him to win football’s ultimate prize.
Either Messi or Ronaldo is expected to scoop the prize in December.
And the Real Madrid star currently is favourite, after helping Los Blancos win La Liga and the Champions League last year.
Barcelona star Luis Suarez is ‘at war’ with Ernesto Valverde, according to reports.
Spanish outlet Diario Gol claims the Uruguayan is aware the Catalan giants want to sign Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann.
The France international nearly joined Manchester United in the summer.
But, with Suarez struggling for form, Barcelona are now eying 26-year-old.
Real Madrid star Keylor Navas is a doubt for Los Blancos’ Champions League clash with Tottenham.
The two teams will do battle in the Champions League next Tuesday.
Navas picked up a groin injury in Costa Rica’s 1-1 dra with Honduras.
And Tottenham’s chances of putting the current European holders to the sword have now been boosted as a result.
